Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.
